Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era - Chapter 79
The next day, McDangxiong and Xiao Sheng, both of whom had dark circles under their eyes, came to the studio early, and McDangxiong said straight to Xiao Sheng, “My brother was looking for him all night last night, and now he brings him with him. A few brothers were squatting in front of Xu Shaoqiang’s house. As soon as Xu Shaoqiang appeared, he would be dragged over by him.”
Xiao Sheng said: “We have to talk to Xiguan about this and make a plan. If Xu Shaoqiang still doesn’t show up today, “The Change of the Silkworm” will be suspended tonight.”
Xiguan is Huang Xizhao, the managing director and general manager of Li’s TV, and the head of Li’s TV.
In 1975, Huang Xizhao became the general manager of “Li’s TV”, and he was Li’s first Chinese general manager. After Huang Xizhao took office, he boldly recruited new talents and discovered a group of young and powerful production talents, such as McDangxiong, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, who are known as “Li’s Three Heroes”, Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming, and so on.
McDangxiong cursed and said helplessly: “I’ll call Xiguan and ask him to come over to the crew in person. You and I have to calm the hearts of the crew now, and we can’t get away.”
“Okay, let’s do that.”
It was 10 o’clock when Huang Xi arrived at the crew of “Celestial Silkworm Transformation”, and his face was also sad. The three found a secluded place, deliberately avoiding the crew, and said, “How could such a thing happen.”
Xiao Sheng had already hated Xu Shaoqiang, and said angrily, “This person has a problem with his character, and he is short-sighted, what can I do about him?”
After a pause, he guessed again: “I just thought about it, is it possible that Xu Shaoqiang has taken over the film contract of the film company and filmed in a place we don’t know?”
MacDonald felt that there was a possibility, and said, “He wants to make a movie, so there is a possibility.”
“I will arrange staff immediately, call all the film and television companies in Xiangjiang, and ask for clarification.” Huang Xizhao made a decision immediately.
Xiao Sheng grabbed Huang Xizhao, who was about to arrange a phone call, and said to McDonald’s: “Axiong, go to the company and arrange for someone to make a call. Xiguan and I have something to discuss.”
McDonnell nodded, then trotted out of the set and went back to the company headquarters to arrange for someone to call. People have hope, and they are particularly motivated. MacDangxiong feels that he has found a direction. This time, Xu Shaoqiang will definitely be found out.
Xiao Sheng said to Huang Xizhao: “Xiguan, because of Xu Shaoqiang’s business, everyone is dissatisfied and morale is low because of Xu Shaoqiang’s work. .”
Huang Xizhao stabilized his mind and said: “A Sheng, you are the master of these matters. As long as “Celestial Silkworm Transformation” can continue to maintain its current situation for a few months, the viewing inertia of TVB’s prime rating will be broken, and we should be on an equal footing with TVB. Now, by that time, the income of the stage will be greatly increased. Don’t be stingy, the opportunity is rare.”
Then he lowered his voice and said: “Asheng, if Xu Shaoqiang really disappeared these days, what should we do with “The Silkworm Transformation” these days? We must come up with a strategy and not stop the broadcast. Do you have any thoughts on this? ? After wireless cut all the unit dramas, the response of “The Legend of Chu Liuxiang” is good now. I have watched a few episodes, and the young student Li Wansui, which wireless network supports, has a good appearance and a handsome temperament, especially his skills, which is very pleasing to the audience.”
Xiao Sheng said hesitantly: “I was thinking about this when I got home last night. I didn’t sleep much the whole night, so I managed to figure out a way to fool him for a few days. We will find Xu Shaoqiang in a few days, but It will definitely affect the splendor of the show, and it will also be easy to get through, the stakes are very important, and you have to decide.”
Huang Xizhao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, “Is there any way? Come and listen.”
Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not a panacea. The cast’s stand-in, Ye Tianxing and Xu Shaoqiang, are similar in body shape. We can use Ye Tianxing as Yun Feiyang. When shooting, we only shoot Ye Tianxing’s back. They mistakenly thought it was Xu Shaoqiang, and at the same time revised the script, these episodes reduced Yun Feiyang’s role, barely fooled the past, and waited for Xu Shaoqiang to return.”
Huang Xizhao listened to Xiao Sheng’s suggestion, hesitantly, and said, “I’m afraid the quality will drop a lot when it is shot like this.”
“That’s why I hesitated and asked you to make the decision.” Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly.
“Wait, waiting for the news of MacDangxiong. There is no news about Xu Shaoqiang, so we will deal with the audience first.” Huang Xizhao made a decision.
Xiao Sheng categorically rejected Huang Xizhao’s idea and retorted: “No, we don’t have the archives. If we shoot at noon, even if we speed up the shooting process, we can’t play it on time at night if we include post-production. Why don’t we shoot first.”
“Okay, that’s all.” Huang Xizhao nodded.
Neither of them thought that Xu Shaoqiang would collect money and run away. This kind of thing made it impossible for these two experienced old men to imagine that someone would be so short-sighted, greedy for small profits, and do things that would destroy their future.
Not to mention the ups and downs of Li’s studio, Li Wansui and Wang Tianlin, the old and young, are proud of the spring breeze.
Wang Tianlin and Li Wansui said, “Ah Sui, yesterday at noon, I arranged for someone to squat on Li’s studio to keep watch. If there was any trouble, I immediately reported it. As a result, I heard that there was already a mess of porridge there this morning. People searched for most of the night, but there was no way. In the morning, I came to the studio with dark circles under my eyes, obviously anxious to get angry and stayed up all night. Hahaha!”
Li Wansui was in a low mood. Hearing Li’s tragic appearance, he couldn’t bear it, and said, “Uncle Tianlin, do you think we broke the rules?”
Wang Tianlin smiled and joked: “What are we, it’s you! Ah Sui is your own idea, what do you bring me to do, I can’t think of such a ghost idea!”
Then he restrained his smile, his eyes were full of wisdom, he patted Li Wansui on the shoulder and said, “Where do you think the entertainment industry is, intrigue and deceit are endless. Whoever succeeds is the boss, there are no rules.”
After a pause, he continued: “Hey, the rules here are to make money, to become famous, a few cameras, if you do it well, you can make a lot of money, which big guy doesn’t want to? It’s a virgin land. There are still rules for such a crocodile pool? The rules are actually formulated by several companies with comparable strength in the industry, afraid of competition and internal friction, so that small companies can take advantage of the fisherman. At present, the Hong Kong TV industry is about our wireless and Li’s, there is no other company. If a piece of meat is lost in the wireless network, Li’s gain is the same, and vice versa. Why do you think the two radio stations should live in peace? Maybe people from the two companies know each other, but in fact they are It’s a life-and-death relationship. Didn’t the eight o’clock file before our TVB stop the broadcast because of Li’s “Celestial Silkworm Transformation”? You said that these crew members who were suspended from the eight o’clock file could not start work or make money. To support the family, do they want Li to go bankrupt?”
Li Wansui has really been taught this time. He just asked what he said. In fact, he heard the miserable situation of Li’s group. He couldn’t bear it. People who are enemies, but Wang Tianlin is right, this is a zero-sum game, you die or I live. In the future, when you start a company, you must always keep this teaching in mind.
After all, he was a law-abiding and good citizen in his previous life. It cannot be said that he did not take care of others, but as an ordinary employee, he endured so much to let others suffer a small loss. He has not caused such a big impact as this time, and can directly interrupt a family. The most important thing for a big company to make progress is that this is a calculation for a group of people who have no grievances with him, and his mentality has not yet been adjusted.
Li Wansui nodded, and Luck respectfully said to Wang Tianlin, “Uncle Tianlin, you have been taught.”
Wang Tianlin also said solemnly: “You are very talented, Ah Sui, the matter of Zheng Shaoqiu, and the matter of Heli, you all shocked me, the timing of the shot was just right, and you all hit the opponent’s seven inches. If you win a complete victory, you will get what you want without any suspense. I also admire you in my heart, but you must understand that in this world, which circle earns more money, which circle has more elites. There are more elites, The competition is big, and regardless of the background, everyone’s abilities are actually similar. There are not a few elites who can squeeze into the center of the circle at the beginning, but very few people succeed in the end, why is this? It is only the nature of the means. If you don’t have a battle and you are considered to be victorious, you must be considered more; if you do not have a battle and you are not considered to be victorious, you must be considered less. In the money-making circles you have entered and are fighting for, everyone regards this sentence of Sun Tzu as a guideline. Not only are you scheming others, but others are scheming against you as well. Heart, make yourself passive, and do it when you should. When they fail, you can show mercy, but before they fail, you are not qualified to show mercy.”
Wang Tianlin’s remarks came from the bottom of his heart. He has experienced wars and turmoil in his youth, traveled all over the place, and climbed from the bottom to his current position. He is well-informed. , I saw that Li Wansui was a kind woman today, and Wang Tianlin, who had regarded him as a junior, taught him.
Li Wansui gained a lot, and bowed deeply to Wang Tianlin, saying nothing.
Wang Tianlin patted the back of the head of Li Wansui who was bending over and said, “I’m not dead yet, bow and curse me?”
Li Wansui giggled and said, “Isn’t this treating Uncle Tianlin as an elder?”
“Bah, then you can’t bow, let’s go filming!”
Wang Tianlin actually didn’t know that there are some people in this world who are just fake compassion. Li Wansui is such a person! After I defeated you, I felt that everyone had no grievances and no grudges. I was too embarrassed to target you like this, so I can make my guilt feel much less by paying some sympathy.
Li Wansui didn’t even know he was such a person! But this is also caused by crossing.
